Dubious Laden tape is aired
http://www.sina.com.cn 2003/12/23 11:07  Shanghai Daily

  The Arab satellite channel Al-Arabiya broadcast a tape on Saturday with a voice claiming to be that of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. Rival channel Al-Jazeera, however, claimed it aired the same tape two months ago.

  A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, also said the video previously aired in October on Al-Jazeera.

  "It's not new," the official said on Saturday.

  On the tape, a voice claiming to be that of bin Laden praised attacks on American forces in Iraq, saying the Americans were waging a "new crusade against the Islamic world."

  In an expanded broadcast later, bin Laden said there have been voices calling for "peaceful solutions and democracy" in Iraq, Palestine, Egypt, Jordan and Yemen.

  "This is illegal and against God's book," he said, referring to the Quran.

  Al-Jazeera, based in Qatar, said it broadcast the same material on October 18.

  "This is 100 percent the same tape we broadcast in October," Saeed Shouly, the deputy chief editor of Al-Jazeera, told The Associated Press minutes after Al-Arabiya first broadcast the tape.

  CIA analysts who examined the audio tape that Al-Jazeera broadcast in October concluded it was probably authentic.

  There was some confusion over whether Al-Arabiya pulled the tape after its initial broadcast on Saturday. A journalist at the station said that the tape was withdrawn and would not air a second time. The journalist would not say why.

  However, the station later aired an expanded version of the tape.
